Re: Alternate tunings
Embracing change, in an alternate tuning, E standard, haven't had a guitar in that for years, quite a hard thing to get my mind around

Re: Alternate tunings
Love the don! been jaming some drop A stuff myself. I love the tune "chimes at midnight" a drop A delightsirvill wrote:druz15 wrote:I thought most of their stuff was drop C or B?sirvill wrote:
ooh, as in AADGBE? Yeah those kind of tunings are cool.
Mastodon have heaps of songs in AGCFAD (whole step down, with top one down to A), another cool option.
(although granted the only stuff of theirs I have actually looked up is off crack the skye, but most of their other riffs sound 'right' in drop C too)
But no I mean drop A as in AEADF#C#
Oh right... like a drop Baritone tuning! Yeah that's kinda what I had my 7 string in, its awesome.
Mastodon use three tunings mainly - D Standard (eg Blood and Thunder), Drop C (drop D down a whole step) (eg Oblivion) and Drop A (AGCFAD, which is the BADGBE tuning you sometimes see down a whole step) (eg High Road, Curl of the Burl etc).
The last one is cool cause you can make octaves with a power chord shape on the top 2 strings. Also means you get some 7 string style low chuggage but keep the feel of a regular guitar on the other strings.

Tuned my Acoustic to dadgad, kinda cool how tolerant of changing tunings they are...

Re: Alternate tunings
I'm well into DADGAD at the moment, albeit down half a step (C#G#C#F#G#C# doesn't roll off the tongue quite so easily though )jeremyb wrote:Tuned my Acoustic to dadgad, kinda cool how tolerant of changing tunings they are...

I really like the open top strings ringing through on certain chords, plus it allows for nice heavy riffing too

Re: Alternate tunings
I've been messing with eadgbe, but with the E string up two octaves, ADG strings up an octave. Sounds like this:

Re: Alternate tunings
I believe Nashville has the low E one octave higher, this tuning has it two octaves up. But very similar in sound I'm sure.

Re: Alternate tunings
I thought Nashville tuning was when you strung a 6 string using the lighter half of a pack of 12 strings? But I could be wrong.bbrunskill wrote:I believe Nashville has the low E one octave higher, this tuning has it two octaves up. But very similar in sound I'm sure.
Nothing to see here.
